I always buy 8.5 w in New Balance but the sizing in these shoes are off. They run small. I am not happy.

Fit was very wide and shoe looked distorted and sloppy.

This shoe should be listed as “runs small.”

I buy New Balance shoe’s only. This shoe is at least one size smaller than normal.

The shoes tapers to much towards the toe and compacts your nails. The toe box is so small that your toes are pressed into the top of the shoes at all times, even at rest. These also have that newer toe material that is firm but crushes easily and will never reshape to the way it was, like a crumpled cardboard box. I have a similar pair that I loved that also had toe construction like this and I can no longer wear them because the front is so miss-shaped and won't snap back in place.

Wish I could have returned them but I wore them once and can’t return if you wear them outside. Going to take a break from Zappos.

I've been buying the Fresh Foam sneakers for years and really don't understand why they are now so inconsistent in size. It makes no sense that the same shoe in black is cut half a size smaller in gray, but there are no half sizes available. Going up a full size doesn't cut it. Very disappointing.

This was disappointing as I was expecting the quality to be like another fresh foam New balance I bought last year. Extremely uncomfortable and I feel immediate pain in my feet, as I have chronic pain issues.

I first ordered 8W my normal size and was so short my toe hit the top leading me to believe this was not 8W. I then ordered 8-1/2 wide and again my foot hit the top . What's wrong with these New Balance shoes?

The sides buckle. I had another pair and thought it was a flawed shoes, but it seems to be the design.

Wanted to like these but the top of the shoe felt cheap and they don't run true to size

Not as good as the old Arishi. These seemed cheaper in fit, feel, construction and appearance in my opinion.

Looks like it was cheap made and the new balance symbol isn't on it good. I plan on returning this pair along with the other two I ordered as soon as I can get to the new balance store.

I'm returning with regret. I really liked the shoes, and I have a small wide foot so 6w usually is ideal in NB. But not this model.

Uncomfortable. I liked the price but exchanged them for the 1080 (3X's as expensive) and am very happy. I'm on my 3rd pair of 1080's. They are worth every penny.

Missing package and no one will get back to me about where it was shipped to. Lost and no one cares at New Balance

I'm disappointed that shoe makers can't get uniform sizes across their lines. Even similar shoes. I know NB runs short. I wear a 7.5 narrow shoe. The most recent NB pair I bought a 2A size 8. Fit perfect. Ordered the same size in this shoe and my toe hit the end just putting them on.
Returning these.

I loved the Arishi v3, but the V4 is so ugly. New balance is disappointing me with their style selection.
